PREFACE 


The  Author  does  not  claim  any  iuvention  or  new  discovery ; 
there  is  nothing  contained  in  the  work  that  should  not  be  famil- 
iar to  all  experienced  builders.  But  to  such,  as  a  book  of  refer- 
ence, it  will  be  of  great  convenience,  saving  them  much  time  and 
labor  in  making  estimates.  Many  builders  have  long  experienc- 
ed the  need  of  such  a  work,  that  would  greatly  lessen  the  time 
and  labor  \i:  estimating  the  cost  of  building,  and  at  the  same 
time  teach  the  workman  the  art  of  calculating  the  cost  of  build- 
ings. The  special  object  of  which  is  to  show  the  proper  meth- 
od of  obtaining  the  cost  of  any  contract,  large  or  small,  and  to 
greatly  lessen  the  time  and  labor  in  making  the  calculations. 
The  greater  part  of  the  book  is  unlike  any  other  work,  with  so 
great  a  variety  of  full  bills  of  tiral)er  giving  the  number  of  feet 
of  frame  lumber,  boarding,  clapboarding,  shingles  &c.,  in  over 
two  hundred  buildings  of  various  dimensions,  commencing  with 
the  size  of  8  by  10  and  gradually  increasing  to  100  feet  in  length 
with  proportionate  width.  With  such  a  variety  one  can  hardly 
fail  of  finding  the  desired  size  with  the  number  of  feet  aimexed 
The  rules  tor  measuring  dimension  lumber,  wood  and  bark,  will 
here  be  found  the  shortest  and  best  methods  for  making  such 
measurements,  giving  such  examples  and  explanations  as  cannot 
be  found  in  any  Arithmetic.  These  rules  and  examples  are  so 
thoroughly  explained  in  their  several  different  ways  that  they 
should  be  in  the  hands  of  every  man  and  every  schoolboy. 

Winchendon,  Mass.,  Oct.  1878.  L.  E.  Brown. 


EXPLANATION  OF  THE 


BILLS  OF  TIMBER 


There  Is  one  general  rule  that  builders  use  alike  in  all  parts 
of  the  country  for  framing  buildings  of  ordinary  sizes.  Hence, 
in  estimating  the  amount  of  frame  lumber  contained  in  a  build- 
ing, this  rule  is  applied:  All  studding  and  floor  joists  are  placed 
16  inches  from  centre  to  centre  and  all  rafters  24  inches  from 
centers  for  a  shingled  roof;  if  a  roof  is  to  be  slated,  place  the 
rafters  16  inches  apart,  same  distance  as  floor  joists  and  stud- 
ding. Every  bill  of  lumber  contained  in  this  book  is  estimated 
by  this  rule :  All  studding  and  floor  joists  are  placed  16  inches 
from  centre  to  centre,  and  all  rafters  24  inches  from  centers. 
In  making  out  a  full  bill  of  lumber  for  buildings  of  so  great  a 
variety  and  dimensions  the  author  does  not  claim  that  all  cross 
timbers  in  each  bill  of  timber  is  placed  to  correspond  with  the 
wants  of  every  building  of  such  dimensions,  as  such  timbers  va- 
ry in  their  places  as  the  rooms  may  vary  in  size.  But  it  must 
be  borne  in  mind  that  such  alterations  of  cross  timbers  does  not 
vary  the  number  of  feet  of  lumber  in  the  building,  unless  the 
rooms  are  made  unusually  small  as  to  require  an  extra  stick, 
which  I  do  not  think  will  occur  in  one  instance.  The  variations 
of  such  cross  timbers  siinply  alters  the  length  of  some  of  the 
floor  timber,  floor  joists,  girts,  &c.  when  the  number  feet  of  lum- 
ber remains  the  same ;  but  in  many  cases  you  will  find  the  ex- 
act bill  without  any  such  alterations. 

In  making  out  a  bill  of  timber  for  a  building  of  much  siije, 
there  are  no  two  men   that  would  make  the   same  allowance  for 


"  10 

breakage  and  waste  of  studding  and  joists.  No  practical  man 
will  deny  this  fact;  in  a  building  25  feet  square,  it  will  take  75 
studs  to  go  round  it,  making  no  allowance  for  the  posts,  and  19 
studs  for  one  end  of  the  gable  in  length  to  reach  to  the  peak  of 
the  roof  from  the  centre  of  the  building;  it  is  not  safe  to  al- 
low that  these  19  gable  studs  will  stud  both  gable  ends,  as 
there  is  more  waste  in  cutting;  and  there  is  studding  wanted 
for  shoring  and  furrowing,  for  jetting  for  gables  «S:c..  as  I  will 
explain  more  fully  in  another  place;  hence  it  cannot  be  cxpeted 
that  any  two  practical  men  will  make  precisely  the  same  allow- 
ance. 

In  making  out  the  bills  of  timber  contained  in  this  book,  each 
having  been  carefully  estimated,  and  in  all  cases  great  care  has 
been  taken  to  make  all  proper  allowance  for  waste.  &c.,  that 
there  should  be  no  deficiences. 

WHAT    IS    IXCLUDKD    IN    THE    BILLS    OF    LUMBER. 

The  bills  explain ;  nothing  is  included  that  is  not  billed.  All 
rough  lumber  is  included  except  the  inside  partition  studs,  stair 
brackets  and  furrowing.  These  three  items  could  not  be  in- 
cluded and  be  practical,  as  buildings  of  the  same  dimensions 
may  require  three  times  the  number  of  partition  studs  as  anoth- 
er building  of  the  same  size,  varying  according  to  the  number 
of  partitions.  Hence,  by  omitting  these  three  items,  a  practi- 
cal estimate  can  be  given,  as  according  to  the  rules  of  framing 
alike  in  all  parts  of  the  country  for  buildings  of  ordinary  dimen- 
sions, studding  and  floor  joists  being  placed  a  given  distance 
apart,  16  inches  from  centers;  therefore  being  governed  by  this 
rule  it  must  take  a  certain  amount  of  lumber  and  no  more,  to 
■frame  and  raise  a  building  of  a  given  size;  the  size  of  lumber 
being  given  in  each  estimate. 

In  giving  the  length  of  the  rafters  a  proper  allowance  has 
been  made  for  the  projection.  All  rafters  are  estimated  nine 
inches  rise  to  the  foot ;  therefore  all  shingles  in  the  bills  of  esti- 
mate, are  estimated  at  that  pitch  of  roof.  When  any  other  pitch 
of  a  roof  may  be  required,  .the  length  of  the  rafters  may  be  found 


11 

in  the  rafter  table,  in  such  cases  strike  out  the  amount  of  lumber 
in  the  roof  and  make  a  new  estimate  of  the  same,  which  will  re- 
quire but  a  few  moments  work. 

In  estimating  the  number  of  feet  of  enclosing,  lining  and  top 
floor  boards  to  cover  the  buildings  that  are  estimated  in  this 
book,  each  one  has  been  estimated  solid — as  if  there  were  to  be 
no  doors  and  windows — and  that  number  of  feet  set  down  ;  if 
square  edge  boards  are  used,  add  10  per  cent. ;  if  matched  add 
20  to  30  per  cent.,  according  te  the  width  used. 

Clapboards  also  are  estimated  the  same  as  the  boarding,  pay- 
ing no  regard  to  doors  and  windows.  Add  one-fourth  to  that 
number  of  feet  for  buildings  of  ordinary  number  of  doors  and 
windows,  and  the  estimate  will  be  very  near  correct  for  spruce 
clapboards,  which  require  a  little  more  than  one-fourth  lap  to 
make  good  Mork.  The  extra  lap  and  waist  will  about  make  up 
for  the  doors  and  windows.  Mention  will  be  made  of  clap- 
boards in  another  place.  * 

The  special  object  of  the  bills  of  lumber  is  to  greatly  lessen 
the  time  and  labor  for  young  or  old  contractors  in  making  an 
estimate  of  the  amount  of  lumber  in  a  building  of  such  dimen- 
sions as  may  be  found  in  this  book;  the  variety  being  so  great 
and  the  increase  iu  size  so  gradual,  that  one  can  hardly  fail  Oi*" 
finding  the  desired  size.  The  author  for  many  years  a  practical 
builder  and  contractor,  has  often  felt  the  need  of  a  work  that 
would  save  the  labor  of  many  calculations.  Hoping  that  the 
work  will  prove  of  practical  value  to  others  besides  the  author 
it  is  submitted  to  the  judgement  of  the  carpenters  and  builders 
of  the  country.

In  the  preceding  bills  of  lumber  for  buildings  ofsogreata 
variety,  it  is  not  to  be  expected  that  the  size  of*  the  lumber  in 
in  every  bill  will  correspond  with  the  wants  of  every  building 
required  to  be  built  of  such  dimensions.  But  for  houses,  barns 
and  any  building  required  to  hold  an  ordinary  amount  of  weight 
the  timber  as  billed  (for  the  different  size  building  that  are  bill- 
ed in  this  book,)  are  of  proper  size  and  dimensions.  Neither  is 
it  to  be  expected  that  the  author,  in  all  cases,  has  made  the 
same  allowance  for  waste,  extra  studding,  &c.,  as  to  exactly 
agree  with  the  ideas  of  every  builder  in  the  land ;  but  the  dif- 
ference-must  be  very  slight. 

The  object  of  these  bills  to  old  contractors  are  to  greatly  lessen 
the  time  and  labor  in  making  an  estimate,  as  the  variety  being  so 
great,  one  can  hardly  fail  of  finding  the  desired  size.  For 
young  contractors  and  workmen,  its  assistance  will  be  of  still 
greater  value.  For  fiirmers,  mechanics  and  any  one  who  may 
wish  to  know  the  amount  of  frame  lumber  required  for  build- 
ings of  various  dimensions,  can,  by  referring  to  this  book,  find 
the  desired  information  and  in  connection  with  other  tables  it  is 
hoped  the  book  will  be  of  great  value  to  all.

COxNTRACTORS'  AND  BUILDERS'  ESTIMATE. 


There  is  but  one  true  method  by  which  to  calculate  the  C09| 
of  building,  work  and  material  w^Ich  is  practical,  safe  and  correct, 
lu  all  the  practical  works  of  Architecture  and  builder's  books  ev- 
er published,  all  of  which  abound  in  valuable  information,  not  •oe 
of  them  treat  on  or  give  but  little,  if  any,  information  to  the 
workman  the  art  of  calculating  the  cost  of  work  and  material; 
neither  is  it  ever  taught  by  the  master  workman,  at  the  bench ; 
therefore  it  leaves  the  workman  entirely  in  the  dark  in  regard 
to  this  important  part  of  carpentry.  Workmen,  by  habit,  ac- 
quire the  knowledge  of  doing  work,  but  there  are  few  men  who 
can  calculate  the  cost  of  work  and  material  readily  and  correct- 
ly. This  of  necessity  must  be  true  of  every  man  who  has  not 
had  experience,  as  it  requires  many  years  practical  experience 
to  become  familiar  with  all  the  secrets  connected  with  this  part 
of  the  trade.  There  are  many  men  who  have  worked  at  the 
trade  all  ther  days  and  are  good  workmen,  that  have  little  idea 
as  to  the  cost  of  erecting  buildings,  or  the  proper  method  of  cal- 
culating the  cost. 

There  are  many  contractors  also  who  have  done  busines*  for 
years  that  have  no  practical  system  by  which  to  get  at  the  cost 
of  building,  Such  men  labor  under  great  disadvantage  and  in- 
convenience often  losing  money  on  jobs.  Therefore  the  neces- 
sity that  every  man  should  as  far  as  possible  understand  all  the 
important  points  connected  with  the  business  he  intends  to  fol- 
low, thoroughly  understand   all  its  its   details   that  ]^e    can  rely 


contractors'  and  builders'  estimate.  115 

upon  his  own  judgment.lt  will  not  answer  to  half  know  yoUii: 
business  and  rely  upon  others  for  the  other  half,  if  you  wish  to 
succeed  j  this  proves  true  in  all  kinds  of  business. 

The  art  of  calculating  the  cost  of  building  being  a  part  of  car- 
pentry all  instructions  being  omitted,  there  seems  to  be  a 
demand  that  this  want  should  be  supplied,  in  view  of  which  the 
author  endeavors  to  supply  in  part. 

This  part  of  the  work  is  especially  designed  for  the  young  con- 
tractor or  workman,  that  he  may  become  familiar  with  all  the 
little  things  connected  with  this  art,  which  are  especially  the 
most  important.  It  is  impossible  for  a  man  to  become  a  succssful 
contractor  without  first  becoming  familiar  with  the  minor  rules 
connected  with  the  business. 

The  deficiencies  of  all  works  on  carpentry  is,  they  are  only 
available  by  professional  archit  ects  or  by  men  who  have  had 
great  experience ;  they  seem  to  Luke  it  for  granted  that  all  men  un- 
derstand the  business ;  hence  the  young  contractor  cannot  find  the 
assistance  which  he  most  needs.  The  author  speaks  from  expe- 
rience, having  realized  •  the  difficulties  every  young  contractor 
must  encounter  the  first  two  or  three  years,  in  order  to  compete 
with  those  who  have  had  more  experience. 

CLOSE  ESTIMATE. 

For  making  a  close  estimate,  it  is  necessary  to  make  a  care- 
ful estimate  of  each  and  every  article  that  is  connected  with  the 
building  or  job  to  be  done.  Figure  each  item  separately  is  the 
motto  of  the  most  practical  builders  of  the  country.  No  young 
or  old  contractor  Ciin  be  too  careful  upon  this  point,  which  is  the 
secret  of  making  close  calculations,  as  by  this  method  any  man 
of  ordinary  judgement  cannot  make  any  serious  mistakes.  For 
example,  in  making  a  close  estimate,  first  find  the  number  of 
feet  of  frame  lumber,  cost  per  thousand  feet ;  second  find  the 
number  feet  enclosing  and  lining  floor  boards,  cost  per  thousanxl. 
Top   floors,  clapboards,   shingles  or   slate.     Number  of   window 


116  contractors'    and  BUn.DERS'    ESTIMATE 

frames  and  cost  of  each ;  window  sash,  window  blinds ;  num- 
ber of  door  frames,  or  lumber  in  each  ;  number  of  feet  of  lum- 
ber for  outside  finish ;  number  feet  of  lumber  for  inside  finish ; 
cost  of  sioks,  wood  or  iron;  cost  of  pumps  and  pipe;  number  of 
chimneys,  cost  of  each  per  foot ;  number  thousand  lath ;  num- 
ber yards  of  plastering,  cost  per  yard ;  number  pounds  of  nails, 
tin  and  zinc;  window  weights  or  springs;  locks,  knobs,  buttsr 
latches  a-nd  screws;  number  lbs.  of  felt  paper,  (if  used;)  stairs 
and  railings;  mantles  and  brackets;  painting;  carpenter  work 
&c.,  &c. 

It  is  a  good  plan  to  estimate  the  cost  of  Piazzas,  Bay  windows 
Porches,  Dormer  windows    and  all  such  outside  finish  separate ; 

there  being  so  many  difierent  styles  and  finish  they  need  spec- 
ial attention. 

The  object  in  separating  or  making  so  many  items  in  making 
a  close  estimate  is  especially  necessary  for  unexperienced  men, 
as  by  this  method  it  is  hardly  possible  to  make  ary  great  mistake. 
There  is  no  other  sure  method  for  young  or  old  contractors  to 
estimate  the  cost  of  any  job  large  or  small,  high  or  low  cost,  on- 
ly as  by  long  experience  you  can  sometimes  compare  one  job  to 
another ;  but  as  a  general  rule  this  is  a  bad  plan  to  adopt,  as 
there  are  hardly  two  jobs  alike. 

CARPENTER  WORK. 

There  is  no  rule,  or  process  of  figures  which  can  be  applied 
to  difierent  jobs  that  is  practical,  safe  and  correct,  as  no  two 
men  or  gang  of  men  will  perform  a  job  of  work  at  just  the 
same  cost ;  neither  will  any  one  man  perform  the  same  job  of 
work  for  different  men  or,  at  a  more  unfavorable  time  in  the 
year  at  just  the  same  cost.  Therefore  figures  will  not  give  the 
exact  cost, 

Work  being  the  most  important  item  in  estimating  the  cost  of 
building,  every  workman  or  young  contractor   should  use  great 


contractors'  and  builders'  estimate,  117 

care  and  judgment,  giving  this  item  special  attention.  There  is 
but  one  method  that  new  beginners  can  safely  adopt,  and  that 
is  to  calculate  the  cost  of  each  part  separately,  as  in  the  bill  of 
estimate  for  material,  &c. ;  first  calculate  the  time  for  framing 
the  building,  whatever  it  is,  large  or  small,  and  so  on  separat- 
ing the  work  and  the  time  for  each  part.     For  example : 

ESTIMATE  OF  WORK. 

Time  for  framing,  raising,  boarding,  coving  and  other  out- 
side finish,  shingling,  clapboarding,  making,  setting  and  casing 
window  frames,  making  and  setting  door  frames,  setting  parti- 
tion stud?,  casing  doors,  putting  down  base  boards,  laying  floor 
fitting,  hanging  and  trimming  doors,  casing  sink,  casing  pantry 
shelving,  casing  stairs,  stair  railings,  <fec. 

The  object  of  this  is  that  workmen  may  become  familiar  with 
each  part ;  every  new  beginner  should  adopt  this  plan  until  he 
is  well  posted,  whatever  system  he  may  use  after  years  of  ex- 
perience ;  but  it  is  safe  to  say  however,  that  you  will  not  adopt 
a  more  sure  method  as  it  is  hardly  possible  for  a  man  of  ordi- 
nary judgment  to  make  any  great  blunders  by  this  method.

Square  jet  plancher  8  in.  wide,  frieze  8  in.  wide,  cornice  fascia

You  will  notice  in  all  cases  the  plancher  and  frieze  are  of  the 
same  width;  this  of  course  is  not  always  the  case  in  building; 
this  jet  table  is  designed  more  particularly  to  show  the  shortest 
method  of  calculating  the  number  of  feet  of  lumber  in  any  jet 
or  coving,  of  whatever  width  it  may  be,  by  putting  the  plancher 
frieze  and  cornice  fascia  together,  no  matter  what  each  of  their 
width  may  be  it  is  a  much  easier  and  shorter  method.  If  iu  a 
jet  the  plancer  is  20  in.  wide,  the  frieze  24  in.  wide,  the  cornice 
fascia  is  5  in.  wide,  4  1-12  feet,  one  foot  in  length.  In  case 
you  wish  to  use  cheap  spring  cornice  and  spring  the  same  your 
self,  bed  mould  also  add  G  in.  for  cornice  and  3  in,  for  bed 
moulding.  For  example:  in  jet  plancia  18  in.  wide,  frieze  20 
in.  wide,  cornice  6  in.  wide,  cornice  fascia  5  in.  wide,  bed  mould 
3  in.  wide  add  these  together  will  give  52  in.  equal  to  4^  feet 
one  foot  in  length,  and  so  on  in  whatever  width  jet  you  wish  to 
use  you  will  find  this  method  much   shorter  and  quicker  done.

sheathing  and  flooring. 

In  estimating  tlie  number  feet  of  matched  lumber,  allsheath- 
ing  and  matched  flooring  of  ordinary  width,  add  25  per  cent 
after  getting  the  sq.  feet  jou  wish  to  cover ;  if  sheathing  is  very 
narrow,  t^ay  2  or  2  l-2in.  wide  add  40  per  cent,  as  all  matched 
lumber  is  measured  before  it  is  sawed  and  matched. 

BOARDING   BOARDS, 

All  square  edge  boards  for  enclosing  buildings,  lining  floors^ 
&c.,  calculate  the  number  of  sq.  feet  to  be  covered  and  make  no 
allowance  for  openings.     Add  10  per  cent. 

TOP    FLOORS, 

Unmatched  require  from  8  to  12  per  cent,  allowance  for 
waste.  Matched  from  20  to  30  per  cent ;  very  narrow  matched

will  lay  750  feet;  or,  the  better  way  is  to  get  the  number  sq. 
feet  to  be  covered,  pay  no  regard  whatever  to  openings,  then 
add  f  to  the  surface ;  for  houses  with  ordinary  number  of  win- 
dows and  doors  it  is  very  near  correct  and  a  much  shorter 
method. 

One  thousand  feet  of  pine  clapboards  will  lay  more,  as  the 
thin  edge  is  thicker  and  does  not  require  so  great  a  lap. 

SHINGLES. 

Good  18  in.  shingle  will  average  to  lay  130  feet  per  thousand 
laid  5f  in.  to  the  weather, .  they  will  sometimes  overrun,  but 
130  feet  is  a  safe  estimate.

LIME    FOR   BRICKWORK. 

A  cask  of  lime  to  1050  bricks  is  considered  a  close  estimate

CEMENT   FOR   BRICKS. 

One  cask  of  cement  mixed  with  two  casks  of  sand  makes  good 
mortar  and  will  lay  about  600  bricks.  For  concrete  floors  a 
cask  of  cement  mixed  with  two  casks  of  gravel  is  estimated  to 
cover  about  12  square  yajds  surface  one  inch  thick.  One  half

FURRING. 

A  short  method  to  estimate  the  number  of  feet  of  furring 
that  may  be  required  to  furrow  any  given  number  of  feet,  the 
same  beinj;  placed  16  inches  from  centers.  For  1x3  fur- 
ring it  takes    1-5  of  the    number  of  surface  feet. 

In  a  ceiling  24  feet  square  it  takes  115  feet  or  38  furring 
12  feet  long,  3  feet  in  each,  3  times  38  equal  to  114  feet.  For 
1x2  furring  divide  by  7  will  be  a  close  estimate.  If  the 
partitions  are  set  before  the  building  is  furrowed,  it  will  take  a 
few  more  feet;  always  add  10  or  15  per  cent,  for  waste. 

PARTITION    STUDS    AND    WALL    STUDDING. 

The  shortest  method  to  ascertain  the  number  of  studs  required 
to  ytud  any  building,  or  any  number  of  feet  stud- 
ding being  placed  16  in.  from  centre  to  centre;  first  find  the 
number  of  feet  in  length  to  be  studded  and  divide  by  three- 
fourths,  that  is  it  takes  three-fourths  the  number  of  studding 
there  is  number  of  feet  adding  one  to  start  with ;  use  the  same 
rule  for  furring  and  floor  joists  when  placed  16  inches  from 
centers. 

For  inside   partition   apply  the   same  rule   adding  about  20

EXPLANATION  OF  THE  RAFTER  TABLE. 

It  is  understood  that  the  length  of  a  rafter  is  to  be  measured  from  the  two 
extreme  points  frOra  outside  of  the  plate  to  the  extreme  peak  of  roof;  but  in 
this  rafter  table  no  allowance  has  been  made  for  the  projection  of  rafters  be- 
yond the  plate,  or  for  the  ridge  board  (if  such  is  used.)  Hence  the  length  of 
a  common  ralter  is  the  distance  from  the  top  and  outer  corner  of  the  plate  to 
the  extreme  peak  of  the  roof.  The  table  gives  the  length  of  any  rafter  in  any 
pitch  roof  from  6  to  16  inches  rise  to  one  foot  in  any  building  from  8  to  50  feet 
in  width,  width  of  buildings  running  in  even  feet.

BRACES. 

To  get  the  length  of  braces  by  a  short  and  easy  method,  wliere 
the  perpendicular  and  horizontal  runs  are  equal  which  is  most 
always  the  case,  multiply  the  run  of  brace  by  17  and  it  will 
giye  you  the  exact  length  required  the  length  to  be 
measured  from  the  extreme  points  from  shoulders,  or  longest 
corners. 

The  length  of  braces  as  given  od  the  square  or  by  the  rule  of 
extracting  the  square  root  makes  a  brace  a  little  too  short;  a 
small  allowance  should  always  be  made,  Hence  to  get  the 
length  of  braces  for  regular  runs,  there  is  no  other  way  that  will 
give  the  exact  length  required.  For  example :  the  common  run 
for  a  brace  is  three  feet;  3  times  17  is  51  inches,  the  exact 
length  ;every  close  framer  will  cut  the  length  of  the  brace  from 
longest  corners  of  shoulders;  when  by  extracting  the  square 
root  it  will  give  for  the  length  50  inches  and  91-100  of  an  inch, 
nearly  one-eighth  of  an  inch  tod  short.  If  the  runs  arc  5  feet; 
5  times  17  is  85  inches,  extract  the  square  root  and  it  will  give 
for  the  length  84  inches  and  85-100  of  an  inch,  which  is  more 
than  one-eigth  of  an  inch  too  short.  This  rule  can  be  safely  us- 
ed to  obtain  the  length  of  any  brace  that  may  be  required  for 
any  building. 

The  same  rule  can  be  applied  to  obtain  the  length  of  rafters 
that  are  to  be  on  a  miti-e  pitch,  or  12  inches  rise  to  one  foot;  a 
building  24  feet  wide,  one-half  the  width  is  12  feet;  12  times 
17  is  204  inches,  equal  to  17  feet,  the  length  of  ralter,  from  out 
side  of  the  plate  to  the  extreme  peakof  the  roof,  both  bevels  of 
course  l)eing  alike;  in  rafters  or  braces  the  runs  must  be  equal 
to  apply  this  rule. 

BOARD    MEASURE. 

Surface  measure  has  length  and  breadth  only,  without  regard 
to  thickness. 


134  contractors'  and  builders'  estimate. 

If  a  board  is  12  inches  long  and  12  inches  wide  it  contains 
144  square  inches  or  one  square  foot.  Rule;  multiply  the  length 
by  the  breadth  and  divide  the  product  by  12. 

If  a  board  is    16  feet  long  and  14  inches  wide.     Example: 
16  If  a  boardis  19  1-2  feet  long  and  1  6  1  -2 

14  inches  wide;  19  1-2  multiplied  by  16  1-2 

—  equals  322,  reduced  to  feet  by  dividing 
64                      by  12,  26  10-12  sq.  feet 

16 

If  a  board  is   20  feet  long  and  16  inch- 

1 2)224(1 8§  sq.  feet,    es  wide;  20   multiplied   16  equals  320 

12  divided  by  12  gives,   reduced,  26§  sq. 

feet,  or 

104 

96  16  inches  is  equal  to  1^  feet  multiplied 

by   the  length    which  is    20    feet;  20 

4)8(§  feet  multipled    by   U   feet,  gives   26§ 

1  2  square  feet    as    above. 

In  a  floor  of  a  room  25  feet  long  by  20  feet  wide, 
25  X  20  equals  500  feet,  or,  250  x  2  equals  500  feet. 

SQUARE    TIMBER    AND    JOISTS, 

Dimension  lumber    is     measured  board  or  inch  measure. 
If  a  plank   is  12  inches  wide,  4  inches  thick  and  16  feet  long, 
how  many  feet,  board  measure  ? 
12 
4 

—  KuLE —  Multiply  the  width  by  the  thick- 
48  ness  and  that  product  by  the  length  in

contractors'  and   builders'  estimate.  135 

If  a  stick  of  timber  be  10  inches  square  and  40  feet  long,  10 
X  10  equals  100x40  equals  4000  divided  by  12  equals  333^ 
feet,  or  you  canfirst  find  the  contents  of  one  side  of  timber  or 
joists  aud  multiply  by  the  thickness  the  result  will  the  same* 
Example —  If  a  stick  of  timber  be  24  feet  long,  10  inches  wide 
and  6  inches  thick,  24  x  10  equals  240,  divided  by  12  equals

measurements,  and  if  crooked  sticks  are  in  the  pile,  or  the  wood 
is  crossed  in  piling,  or  in  any  way  arranged  as  to  make  a  larger 
pile  than  would  be  obtained  by  piling  straight  wood  in  as  com- 
pact a  manner  as  possible,  make  such  deduction  as  in  your  judg- 
ment would  make  it  sold  measure  of  well  'pa<:ke(l  straight  wood. 

If  the  pile  of  wood  is  in  a  curve,  or  part  circle,  always  take 
the  length  on  the  inside  of  the  circle. 

Where  wood  is  designed  to  be  cut  4  feet  in  length,  it  should 
be  that  length  from  the  point  of -one  end  to  the  commencement 
of  the  kerf  of  the  other  end.  The  same  rule,  where  \vood  is  cut 
any  other  length,  is  applicable,  as  regards  those  lengths. 

In  measuring  a  load  of  wood  where  chains  are  used  to  secure 
the.  stakes  between  the  wood,  a  proper  deduction  from  the  height 
should  be  made  for  the  space  occupied  by  such  chains. 

In  measurinsr  a  load    of  wood    when   the   stakes    are    farther

apart  at  the  top  than  at  the  bottom,  the  width  of  the  load  should 
be  taken  half  way  between  the  bottom  and  the  top  of  the  load. 

In  measuring  a  pil«  of  wood  >\'hich  has  a  butment  at  either 
or  both  ends,  deduct  one  foot  from  the  length   of  each  butment. 

In  measuring  bark  that  is  curled,  or  warped  up,  make  such 
deduction  as  would  make  it  a  pile  or  load  of  straight  bark. 

RULE  FOR  SURVEYING  WOOD  BY  A  MEASURE  OF  FEET  AND 
TENTHS    OF  FEET. 

Multiply  decimally  the  length,  breadth  and  heighth  together, 
and  you  will  have  the  amount  in  feet  and  decimals  of  a  foot 
which  can  be  reduced  to  cords  by  dividing  by  128. 

SHORT  RULE  FOR  DECIMAL  MEASURE  WHEN  THE  >VOOD  IS  FOUR 
FEET  IN  LENGTH. 

Multiply  the  length  by  the  heighth  and  divide  by  32  and 
you  will  have  the   amount  in  cords  and  fraction  of  a  cord. 

In  medisuving  unpacked  stove  wood,  defluct  one-third  of  the  gross 
measure  to  give  solid  measure, 

RULE  FOR  SYRVEYING'WOOD  BY  A  MEASURE  OF  FEET  AND    INCHES. 

Multiply  duodecimally  the  length  by  the  heighth  and  that  prod- 
uct by  the  width  and  divide  by  128  and  you  have  the  amount 
in  cords  and  parts  of  a  cord,  as  by  the  following  example ; 

Find  the  solid  contents  of  a  pile  of  wood  9  ft.  5  in.  long,  3  ft.

CONTRACRORS*  AND  BUlLDERS'  ESTIMATE.  139 

To  measure  a  load  or  pile  of  wood  12  ft.  long  and  4  ft.  wide, 
call  every  4  inches  in  height  1-8  of  a  cord,  every  2  inches  1-16 
and  every  inch  1-32. 

To  measure  a  load  or  pile  ot  Avood  8  tt.  long  and  4  ft.  wide, 
calLe-very  inch  in  height  1-48  of  a  cord,  every  2  in.  1-24,  every 
B  in.  1-16,  every  4  inches  1-12  of  a  cord.  Sixteen  solid  feet 
make  1  cord  foot  and  a  pile  of  wood  4  ft.  long,4  ft.  wide  and  1  foot 
high  contains  1  cord  foot  and  it  is  usually  very  convenient  in 
measuring  wood  to  take  the  amount  in  cord  feet,  which  are  re- 
duced to  cords  by  dividing  by  8. 


HIP  RAFTERS. 


A  simple  and  easy  method  to  obtain  the  exact  length  and 
bevels  of  hip  rafters  for  any  pitch  roof;  (see  diagram  above,) 
A  B  and  A  C  represents  the  main  rafters,  line  D  E  the  plate. 
The  line  F  is  drawn  on  a  right  angle,  of  main  rafter  AB.  The 
line  F  must  be  in  length  of  one-half  the  width  of  the  building 
at    point  G. 

The  line  from  G  to  H  gives  the  length  of  the  hip-rafters 
required.  The  line  1  J  is  the  same  length  as  the  line  G  H,  the 
same  as  to  let  end  G  fall  to  1  to  top  of  plate  H,  remaining  on 
its  position  at  the  peak  of  the  roof.  The  line  1  J  is  to  obtain 
the  bevels  at  each  end.  Apply  the  same  rule  for  any  pitch 
roof.  First  draw  the  main  rafter  lines,  then  draw  line  F  in 
a  right  angle  with  the  pitch  of  the  main  rafter,  in  length  of  one- 
half  the  width  of  the  building  as  described  in  the  diagram,  above 
from  point  G  to  H,  will  always  give  tht  length  of  any  hip  raft- 
er of  any  pitch  roof,  with  the  greatest  exactness. 


140 


contractors'  and  builders'  estimate 


EXAMPLE. 

Suppose  a  building  to  be  24  feet  wide,  one-half  the  width  is  12 
feet,  the  rise  of  the  main  rafteris  6  inches  to  one  foot ;  the  length 
bf  the  main  rafter  is  1 3  feet  and  5  inches ;  in  this  case  the  right 
angle  line  F  from  main  rafter  will  be  12  feet  to  point  G;  the 
line  from  G  to  //  is  18  feet,  the  length  of  the  hip-rafter  re- 
quired. The  line  1  J  also  is  18  feet  long,  or  the  same  line  end 
G  drops  to  the  line  of  plate,  as  explained  before,  to  give  the  bev- 
els at  each  end. 


OCTAGON. 


To  obtain  the  equal  si4es  of  an  octagon  by  a  square.  The 
plate  above  represents  a  building  50  feet  sq.  First  make  the 
square  lines  AB  and  CD ;  the  line  E.  is  drawn  on  a  line  from 
corner  to  corner  of  the  square  in  length  to  correspond  with  the 
sides  of  the  building  which  is  50  feet  to  point  S. 

To  get  the  lines  F  and  G,  place  the  blade  of  the  square  on 
the  outer  lines  at  a  point  that  the  tongue  of  the  square  will 
strike  the  end  of  line  E  at  S;  then  draw  the  line  H,  as  shown 
in  the  plate.  The  line  H  will  be  the  equal  length  of  the  eight 
square  or  sides  of  the  octagon. 


contractors'  and  builders'  estimate  141 

The  same  rule  will  apply  to  any  size  building  or  square  to  be 
octagoned,  always  remember  that  the  line  E  must  be  in  length 
to  correspond  with  the  width  or  sides  of  the  building.  If  a 
building  is  24  feet  square  the  line  E  will  be  24  feet  long  to 
point  S ;  if  10  feet  square,  line  E  will  be  10  feet.  If  a  block  is  10 
inches  square  line  E,  will  be  10  inches  long  to  point  S.  The 
line  H  will  always  give  the  equal  length  of  the  sides. 

The  bevels  of  an  Octagon.  Place  the  blade  of  the  square 
at  8  1-2  inches,  the  tongue  at  20  1-2  inches  will  give  the  pro- 
per bevels. 

PAINTING. 

For  estimating  the  cost  of  painting  no  general  rule  can  be 
given.  It  is  customary  to  charge  for  each  coat  of  paint  put  on, 
and  eevry  part  should  be  measured  that  is  painted  and  allowances 
made  for  covering  deep  quirks  in  mouldings,  carved  surfaces, 
difficult  mouldings,  railings  of  iron  &c 

The  condition  of  the  surface  to  be  painted  governs  the  price 
per  yard.  It  takes  from  4  to  6  gallons  of  oil  for  100  pounds  of 
white  lead,  depending  somewhat  upon  the  heat  or  cold. 

FRENCH  OR  MANSARD  ROOF. 

In  estimating  the  amount  of  frame  lumber  contained  in  a 
building  which  requires  a  Irench  or  mansard  roof  Add  one- 
third  to  the  amount  of  lumber  contained  in  the  pitch  roof,  that 
is  the  frame  lumber  above  the  plate.  Take  the  number  of  feet 
of  lumber  contained  in  the  rafters,  colfer  girts  and  gable  studs 
addins:  ^  for  a  fi-ench  roof.  The  diffrence  caanot  be  stated  ex- 
act  as  the  pitch  of  the  straight  roof  size  of  lumber  &c.  will  vary 
but  to  assist  in  making  an  estimate  of  buildings  of  an  ordinary 
size,  this  estimate  will  be  practically  correct.

MEASUREMENT    OF    LOGS 

WITH  THE  USE  OF  CALIPERS. 

CORD     MEASURE. 


Table  I — Gives  the  contents  of  logs  in  cord  measure.  This 
table  is  based  upon  the  following  rule  viz :  Square  the 
diameter  in  inches,  multiply  by  the  length  of  the  log  in  feet, 
divide  the  product  by  144;  result  obtained  in  feet.  Calipers 
applied  in  centre  of  log  when  of  ordinary  length.  If  logs  are 
over  J  2  or  14  feet   long   the  place   of  application    of  calipers 


should  he  moved  towards  large  end  of  log. 


Logs    20    feet  and 


over  in  length  should  be  calipered  in  sections  of  10  or  12  feet. 
In  the  use  of  this  rule  the  diameter  is  usually  taken  over  the 
bark.  The  place  of  application  of  calipers  is  however  some- 
times varied  by  contract  between  parties.  This  rule  gives  the 
entire  contents  of  the  log  in  cord  measure  without  reference  to 
its  imperfections  (always  excepting  rotten  and  worthless  logs) 
or  to  what  it  may  finally  be  sawed  into.  The  chopper,  the 
drawer,  the  buyer  and  seller  receive  full  measure.  The  ques- 
tion of  quality  and  discount  to  be  considered  when  the  price  is 
fixed  for  the  logs.

tables,  is  to  show  the  number  of  feet  in  one  inch  boards  that 
may  be  obtained  from  a  log  of  given  dimensions. 

In  examining  the  many  different  rules  and  tables  used  for  this 
purpose,  I  find  myself  confronted  by  figures  as  contradictory,  as 
they  are  numerous.  Selecting  thirteen  inch  measure  tables  and 
rules,  which  have  been  used  in  New  England,  and  taking  as  a 
basis,  a  log  12  feet  long  and  12  inches  in  diameter,  I  obtain  the 
following  results,  viz :

inches,)  is  in  inch  measure,  113  feet.

In  the  above  extracts,  some  of  the  tables  which  give  the  same 
measurement  on  a  1 2  inch  log,  differ  widely  on  logs  having  a 
greater  diameter.  Such  is  the  disagreement  that  it  may  be 
claimed  that  no  two  authors  have  arrived  at  the  same  results.  In 
the  brief  space  at  our  disposal  it  will  be  impossible  to  explain  in 
detail  the  cause  of  these  variations.  I  can  only  speak  of  the 
more  important. 

Some  tables  give  the  contents  of  the  log  when  sawed  into 
boards  all  square  edge,  with  parallel  sides.  By  this  rule  the  di- 
ameter is  taken  at  the  small  end  of  the  log ;  in  which  case  all 
the  swell  of  the  los:  and  also  the  contents  of  the  slabs,  however 
thick,  is  not  included  in  the  measurement. 

Another  author  works  from  the  same  basis,  but  allows  a  cer- 
tain number  of  wany  edge  boards  to  be  sawed ;  which  number 
varies  according  to  the  size  of  the  log.  Others  allow  the  boards 
to  be  sawed  tapering,  to  conform  to  the  shape  of  the  tree,  squar- 
ing the  edges  of  most  of  the  boards.  Another  makes  the  boards 
all  round  edge. 

Some  authors  openly   avow   that    they    make    allowance    for 

*♦  CONCEALED  DEFECTS,"  &C.,  &C. 

Now  while  the  authors  of  these  tables  differ  thus  widely  the- 
oretically, in  reference  to  the  manner  in  which  these  same  inch 
boards  should  be  sawed,  still  other  elements  come  in,  in  prac- 
tice, which  tend  to  add  additional  complications. 

First  of  all,  the  timber  itself  has  much  to  do*with  its  produc- 
tion, especially  when  sawed  into  boards.  The  size,  age,  shape 
and  kind,  all  affected  greatly  by  the  nature  of  the  soil  on  which 
it  grows,  produces  ever  varying  results.  It  is  not  an  easy  mat- 
ter to  find  two  sawyers  who  will  obtain  the  same  number  of 
feet  of  boards  from  a  given  quantity  of  logs.  A.  saws  his 
boards  so  thick  and  gives  such  width  in  measuring  that  they 
will  hold  out  measure  whpn  thoroughly  seasoned.  B.  finds  it 
difficult  to  set  his  guage  so  that  the  boards  ever  come  out  quite 
uiie  inch  thick  even  before  they  are  seasoned.  C,  (representing 
no  small  number,)  meets  with  many  difficulties,  and  his  boards 
frequently  leave  the  saw  in  the  form  of   clapboards,  or  shinglea.

All  of  these  sawyers  (especialW  the  latter,)  will  talk   knowingly 
of  measurements. 

If  the  authors  of  these  tables  were  dealing  with  the  question 
of  the  measurement  or  solidity  of  the  log  itself,  they  should 
come  to  the  same  conclusions ;  for  only  one  mathematical  rule 
could  be  used  in  the  solution.  But  these  inch  "measure  tables" 
so  called,  seek  not  the  measurement  of  the  log,  but  a  mcasure- 
ment  of  the  product  of  the  log  in  inch  boards. 

With  equal  propriety  tables  might  be  made  giving  the  sup- 
posed contents  of  logs  when  manufactured  into  shingles,  clap- 
boards, joist,  pail  staves,  chair  stretchers,  broom  handles,  &c. ; 
all  of  which  would  be  convenient  for  the  manufacturer  as  ta- 
bles of  reference,  but  could  not  consistently  be  used  for  the  pur- 
poses of  general  measurement.  Whatever  might  have  been  the 
fact  thirty  or  forty  years  ago,  it  is  unquestionably  true  today, 
that  not  one  log  in  ten  that  is  measured  by  these  same  tables,  is 
ever  sawed  into  one  inch  boards :  hence  in  their  use  there  is  at 
least  a  misapplication. 

It  makes  but  little  difference  which  table  or  method  of  meas- 
urement is  adopted ;  you  may  use  Doyle's  rule,  giving  48  feet 
in  a  12  inch  log.  or  Derby's  giving  81  feet;  no  injustice  is  done 
if  the  facts  are  all  made  known  to  the  parties  interested. 

The  man  who  draws  thj  logs  at  a  stipulated  price,  with  the 
understanding  that  a  table  is  to  be  used  giving  him  81  feet,  would 
not  be  willing  to  draw  them  at  the  same  rate  if  they  were  to  be 
computed  by  a  table  giving  him  only  48  feet.  The  purchaser  in 
giving  $10  per  M  for  logs  by  Doyhi's  rule,  would  not  be  satisfied 
to  pay  the  same  price  if  they  were  measured  by  Derby's. 

While  the  purchasers  of  logs  have  generally  some  knowledge 
of  tables,  and  may  be  trusted  to  guard  their  own  interests ;  it  is 
not  unreasonable  to  assert  that  not  one  man  in  a  hundred  en- 
gaged in  lumbering  (including  the  laborer,)  has  any  knowledge 
of  these  said  inch  measure  tables. 

In  exposing  the  inconsistencies  of  these  tables,  I  desire  to 
throw  no  obstacles  in  the  way  of  the  purchaser  of  lumber,  tend- 
ing to  lessen  his  legitimate  profits.     I  have,  however,  endeavor- 


52 

ed  to  present  a  few  facts,  hoping  that  all  persons  interested  in 
lumbering  may  be  induced,  to  either  accept  "cord  measure"'  as 
heretofore  explained,  as  the  standard  of  measurement  or  some  inch 
measure  table,  which  is  based  upon  the  solidity  of  the  log  and 
which  gives  its  contents. 

It  must  be  evident  to  all  that  for  the  purposes  of  measurement 
alone,  the  proper  question  for  consideration  is,  the  number  of 
feet  and  inches  a  log  contains  of  sound  timber ;  all  other  mat- 
ters should  be  settled  in  the  adjustment  of  prices.
